Senator Karin Housley honored the Stillwater Area High School Mock Trial team with an official Senate Resolution on Thursday, March 27.

Housley, who represents the St. Croix Valley, presented team members of the newly-formed Mock Trial team with Senate Resolution 180 after they qualified for the Minnesota Mock Trial State Tournament in the team’s inaugural year.

The team went undefeated in the first two rounds of the state competition.

“These students have achieved something very impressive with their performance during Mock Trial competitions,” said Sen. Housley. “Their win demonstrates that with focus, hard work and a lot of will, you can achieve your goals. They’ve represented our community very well -- we are all proud of the achievements of these Stillwater students.”

Team members Amy Crea and Alex Eitman were stand-outs in the competition, winning the All-State Witness Award and All-State Attorney Award, respectively.
